Manual labor is fun. Spent the morning shoveling and sifting soil...and now I'm going to spend the afternoon doing so as well. Then I will plant some teeny plants, and finally, I will drive the 2.5 hrs home, grill free fresh sweet corn that I've been given by one of the lab techs, and sew cholis.
Today is a good day, even though I keep yawning!

I want to be a freegan... brainygeek June 22 2007, 19:36:43 UTC
I read about this site in the NYT and I thought of you...

"The site, which provides information and listings for the small but growing subculture of anticonsumerists who call themselves freegans - the term derives from vegans, the vegetarians who forsake all animal products, as many freegans also do...Freegans are scavengers of the developed world, living off consumer waste in an effort to minimize their support of corporations and their impact on the planet, and to distance themselves from what they see as out-of-control consumerism. They forage through supermarket trash and eat the slightly bruised produce or just-expired canned goods that are routinely thrown out, and negotiate gifts of surplus food from sympathetic stores and restaurants. They dress in castoff clothes and furnish their homes with items found on the street; at freecycle.org, where users post unwanted items; and at so-called freemeets, flea markets where no money is exchanged."

Yeah, I've read this before...I've known a few. I've considered it...maybe after grad school. :)
